  • Michele Bachmann will attend Glenn Beck's magical party in DC.
  • Arianna Huffington and Newt Gingrich hung out together in "the Italian resort town of Amalfi" this week. Huffington invited Gingrich to blog a blog about his new book. (Looks like Barbara Walters was also there, for some reason.)
  • U.S. troops in Afghanistan don't really know what our mission is, or what "victory" will look like.
  • Chris Rovzar is not very proud of Ken Mehlman.
  • "Glenn Beck Promises To Brand All Children At His DC Rally."
  • John McCain will totally please David Broder now, David Broder hopes. (Also: "When John McCain Comes Riding on His Flying Unicorn to Save America, David Broder Will Have a Bag of Carrots for the Unicorn"
  • Democrats: Do they deserve to lose? Yes. Duh.
  • The growth in the idea that Barack Obama is a Muslim was higher among better-educated Republican than among less-educated Republicans.
  • The Corner's John Derbyshire posted, at the website of the National Review, a stupid e-mail forward from your most racist relative, about how every day at Friday the Muslims take over New York City. (To be fair, he admitted that he has no clue if it's true or not!) Later, someone points Grandpa to Snopes.
